Do Young Black Males Value Education?

As a young Black male growing up in Brooklyn, I felt that education was not stressed enough as I moved up in the new york city school system. I watch many of my male peers drop-out of school and many never even started college.

I noticed that many young black males growing up, rather obtain money through work or hustling than a diploma or a college degree. I feel that this issue needed to be brought to the light.

I came up with the idea of filming a documentary on this topic. I titled my documentary: Do Young Black Males Value Education?

I interviewed 3 black males, which were all from different backgrounds and ages ranged from 19-24. I asked them about their outlook on education as a young black male.

I also asked questions like : How do you feel about a large number of black females graduating as opposed to black males?

All 3 of the males I interviewed gave good answers to my questions as well as great solutions to help fix this crisis.
